I Want to Live Life to the Fullest
I spent millions of years in the world of inorganic things as a star, as a rock...Then I died and became a plant-Forgetting my former existence because of its otherness, then I died and became an animal-Forgetting my life as a plant except for inclinations in the season of spring and sweet herbs-like the inclination of babes toward their mother's breast... then I died and became a human... my intelligence ripened, awakening from greed and self-seeking to become wise and knowing... I behold a hundred thousand intelligences most marvelous and remember my former states and inclinations... and when I die again,i will soar past the angels to places I cannot imagine.. now, what have I ever lost by dying?
